Throughout history, man has wrestled with the question of belief. From the time that Adam and Eve took a bite of the forbidden fruit, the question of belief has been with us. In Mark 9:20-27, we have a father whose son is possessed with demons, and since the disciples were unsuccessful in healing his son, he asks Jesus for help. And Jesus states to him, "If thou canst believe, all things are possible. "This father answered the Lord by saying: "I believe, but help thou my unbelief." The father was saying his ability to believe is not at the capacity of what is needed, and he wanted Jesus's help to increase his level of belief. We Christians in the twenty-first century unfortunately are operating at the level of this father. Our capacity in believing is limited only to our natural capabilities. We are not able to dig down spiritually and equal the belief for which the Lord desires because Self interferes with that process.
